Bank Artha Graha Internasional, along with Artha Graha Peduli (AGP) and Artha Graha Network (AGN), is getting involved in the “WOW INDONESIA! Festival 2024” happening from August 22-26, 2024, on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C., USA.

The event features a Knowledge Forum, a festival, and a Business Forum. The Knowledge Forum kicks off on August 22, hosted by the World Bank Group, focusing on Indonesia's economic growth, particularly in green development. Then, on August 25, there will be a grand festival showcasing various art forms, including fashion and performances by artists like Warren Hue, Andien, and Stephanie Poetri, highlighting young talents from Indonesia. The event wraps up with a Business Forum on August 26, themed "Elevating Indonesia-US Economic Relations Under the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership." Through exhibitions at the festival, AGP and AGN, along with other business units like Bank Artha Graha Internasional, PT. Jakarta International Hotels & Development, PT Pasifik Agro Sentosa, PT Danayasa Arthatama, Gulavit, Takokak, SCBD, and Electronic City, will actively participate in Washington D.C. to showcase their various programs. "We at Artha Graha Peduli and Artha Graha Network are honored to take part in the WOW Indonesia Festival 2024. We hope this bilateral cooperation continues to thrive in promoting diversity, democracy, and prosperity."

We believe that this event not only showcases the beauty of Indonesia's tourism but also fosters a love for our homeland during Indonesia's Independence Day, said Kent Dixon, the head of the Artha Graha Network – WOW Indonesia event. Bank Artha Graha Internasional, which is supporting this festival, is promoting a digital app that can be downloaded and activated by the Indonesian diaspora in Washington D.C. and other cities across the U.S., making it easier for them to transact with family back home. Additionally, the festival features various products from supported small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to help them gain recognition and access to markets in the United States. Elvin Halim, Associate Director of Retail Banking at Bank Artha Graha Internasional, mentioned that the bank actively supports funding solutions through various SME loan products and promotes digital transaction methods like QRIS, Virtual Accounts, and other cashless payment services. As a foreign exchange bank, they also offer foreign currency transaction services, including incoming and outgoing transfers, and L/C (letter of credit) services to facilitate export and import transactions for companies, along with various financing products for American investors looking to invest in Indonesia. The event was officially opened by Indonesia's Foreign Minister, Retno Marsudi, who visited the Artha Graha Peduli (AGP) and Artha Graha Network (AGN) booths and expressed appreciation for Artha Graha Group's participation and support in the WOW Indonesia Festival. "Thank you to Artha Graha Group for helping us succeed in our efforts to connect America and Indonesia, especially in terms of people-to-people and business relations," Retno stated.
